Unfortunately, there's not simple formula to identifying all of the factors of a number and it can be a tedious process when trying to identify the divisors of larger numbers. To find the factor combinations of the number 173,325,353, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.
We start by creating a table and writing 1 on the left side and then the number we're trying to find the factors for on the right side in a table. Then, below that, write the numbers as a negative as well.
| 1 | 173,325,353 | |
| -1 | -173,325,353 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 173,325,353.
Example:
1 x 173,325,353 = 173,325,353
and
-1 x -173,325,353 = 173,325,353
Notice both answers equal 173,325,353
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 173,325,353 and divide it by 2:
173,325,353 ÷ 2 = 86,662,676.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 86,662,676.5 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 173,325,353 | |
| -1 | -173,325,353 |
Now, we try dividing 173,325,353 by 3:
173,325,353 ÷ 3 = 57,775,117.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 57,775,117.6667 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 173,325,353 | |
| -1 | -173,325,353 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
173,325,353 ÷ 4 = 43,331,338.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 43,331,338.25 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 173,325,353 | |
| -1 | 173,325,353 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 19 | 37 | 323 | 629 | 703 | 11,951 | 14,503 | 246,551 | 275,557 | 536,611 | 4,684,469 | 9,122,387 | 10,195,609 | 173,325,353 |
| -1 | -17 | -19 | -37 | -323 | -629 | -703 | -11,951 | -14,503 | -246,551 | -275,557 | -536,611 | -4,684,469 | -9,122,387 | -10,195,609 | -173,325,353 |
